24 Creative And Effective Book Cover Designs
“Never judge a book by its cover” is the way the saying goes. But the cover is the image infront of the content that attracts readers in the first place. I have compiled a list of 24 book covers that will grab your attention instantly. Some of them are extremely simple, and some are a little more complex. But it just goes to show, it doesn’t take a heavy design to attract a reader, it just takes a good thourghtful idea. Colour also plays a big role in making a book cover eyecatching. A black and white book cover can stand out more than one with every possible colour in it, because of the way the colours are used. If you have any more cover designs you wish to share with us, please feel free to drop in a comment. You may also want to check out these resources whilst your reading…

Brief history of the dead : Pure coolness, which I could do that.
City Of Tiny Lights : Reminds me of the posters on the ceiling at my dentist.
He replaced them every month he said. Those posters and his assistent made me wish I could go for a checkup each month.
365 Alphabets Cross Stitch : Reminds me of when I was 10, during handicraft lesson we had to swap crafts with the girls. I believe my mum still has it hidden in a secret place.
Lovely subject. Really enjoyed it.

These are interesting. They always say not to judge a book by its cover, but the truth is that most people still do, so the cover really should be interesting and draw some attention, at least for the book’s sake. These are great though, I especially liked the one about the dead. Great design!

Judging a book by its cover may not be a good thing to do.
However, these designs truly make a promise that good things are waiting to be revealed as you flip through the pages.
